As the sacred pledge is revealed from Heaven, the faith of Christ is strengthened; the divine wonders are now present, that were first prefigured in the rod of Moses.
V. At the touch of the Cross, the dead rise, and the wondrous deeds of God are made manifest.
The divine wonders are now present, that were first prefigured in the rod of Moses. (
Fifth responsory of Matins of the Exaltation of the Cross)

R. Dum sacrum pignus caelitus revelatur, Christi fides roboratur:
* Adsunt prodigia divina in virga Moysi primitus figurata.
V. Ad Crucis contactum resurgunt mortui, et Dei magnalia reserantur.
Adsunt prodigia divina in virga Moysi primitus figurata.
